Airking update from AD

[Danny83]

Not true i got one today

[Submaster1675]

I asked my AD for an Airking in May 2021, he told me: the first one that will arrive is for you, I will get it to you in 1 or 2 months maximum.
Since then, he hasn't received one and I trust him to tell me the truth.

[Wee-Willie]

I have had 2 Air Kings..the old style.
I bought the 1st in 1986 in Houston, TT gold, jubilee with white face & Roman Numerals.
I got the 2nd in 1999 in Interlaken, Switzerland, SS AK.

Loved em both.

I don't really care for the newer ones

Very, very few people even care about that model

That's what you and others will say now, but if it's discontinued everyone going to want one... My first Rolex and no regrets..

Remember this time last year when everyone was so sure the JM and Plat Daytona's were not long for this world?

Yeah... Speculation is exactly that

Are they going to want them at the double RRP some idiot flipper thinks theyre worth, all of a sudden?

It doesn't matter what the flippers think they're worth, it's the people that really want one will pay out the nose just to have it. Just look at other SS models that are ridiculously priced right now. When something is discontinued everybody wants one and don't care about the price. I won't sell mine because it's my first Rolex and I really happy with it. So different from the rest of the SS models and that's what I like..

I'm with you on this, I'm never selling. Must admit wasn't too keen when first saw it but more I saw it I got my name down and loved it more every time I put it on.

I don't care if it gets discontinued or stays as I have mine and ​I don't care about the value of it. Doesn't mean anything to me

[JoseR]

enjoy that baby.

That's a nice and clean AK.

Thanks, my wife bought it for me as a birthday gift 20 years ago.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it vanished this year. It was designed purely to echo the dials of the Bloodhound landspeed record attempt as the cars backup dials. The project ran out of money and Rolex gave up the sponsorship for the company taking it over. So it’s kinda a special watch with a fascinating modern history! Get one while you can!!!

It will very very very likely be discontinued or (hopefully) significantly redesigned soon. I am 100% sure it will go up in value when that happens. It will likely be along the same path as the white Milgauss or white OP39. They are 50-100 % above MSRP. The Air King is already part way there since the shortage has caused even it to sell at a premium on the grey market.

I still don't want one.

Should be discontinued lol

[Srct]

I have one and while I wear my LVc most of the time the AK is very different - continues to grow on me every time I wear it.

[214270Explorer]

AD's know nothing.
They never did and they never will.
Rolex shares production information with NO ONE !
People need to get this through their heads and stop the rumors. Especially the AD's.

[telesquire]

Sellers just increasing the prices of these on a daily basis. I watched one on ebay go up from £7495 to £11495......needless to say its had no bids. If they discontinue the model it will go up more then tank like the 39mm Explorer did.Only fools will buy them at such lofty prices. One bunch of Instagram based greys promotes a classic line..'We don't sell watches....we sell investments' What tosh.

[telesquire]

Todays hopeful seller award goes to this guy.....

Yes, discontinue it and you'll see all the people criticizing it will want one when it becomes hard to get and the prices will go up like the Hulk. He who laughs last, laughs best.

Beautiful!

[Milhaus]

I hope rolex keeps it just to have some diversity in its lineup.
But the oversized numbers remind me of Jitterbug phones.

Yes, there will be those people just like there are with every single Rolex that is discontinued. People want what they can't have. Many will still simply not be interested, as hard as that is for some to accept.
